Chapter 38 Buying Ancient Jade

After getting off the plane, it was almost dawn. Xiao Xingyun and Fatty Luo saw Hu Lili taking her assistant and getting on a Rolls-Royce, and they had to take a taxi and go back to their own houses.
Their cars were parked at their own homes, not at the airport, and no bodyguards or assistants picked up the plane.
This time I went to Guangdong Province to bet on stones, which gave the two great feelings, and had seen prosperity and crisis.
They just want to go home now, have a good sleep, and then think about which path to go in the future.
Xiao Xingyun returned to Cuiyuan Villa, Xu Qing was dressed neatly and was about to go to school.
"Brother Yun is back. I have someone move the raw stone you mailed into the basement. It has been tested, and there are twelve pieces in total, exactly the same as the photos you sent."
Xu Qing was wearing jeans, a T-shirt with white background, a high ponytail, and her whole body was full of youthful atmosphere. Her exposed bee waist and fat buttocks were particularly seductive.
"Okay, Xiaoqing, have you had breakfast? You went to school so early?" Xiao Xingyun put his suitcase aside and changed into slippers.
"I went to school to eat, and the food in the cafeteria is cheap. Today our class has a program to be rehearsed, so I have to go there as soon as possible. I won't say anything, I'm in a hurry, I'll beg you." As he said that, Xu Qing hurriedly left.
"By bye..." Xiao Xingyun sat on the sofa in the living room, closed his eyes, and lay there for a long time without moving.
He was so tired, sleepy, and hungry, but he didn't want to move. Only by huddling in his familiar home could he find a long-lost sense of security.
"It's enough that my perspective eye has the ability to attack, so that I can protect myself."
"With such a supernatural ability, I don't go to gambling stones. What should I do to make money in the future? Going to a foreign casino? That's even more dangerous. If I win tens of millions or hundreds of millions at a time, I guess I can't even get out of the game."
"If my perspective eye wants to upgrade, I need a lot of ancient jade. If I buy jade, I will definitely need a lot of money..."
The more I thought about it, the more I felt chaotic, and Xiao Xingyun couldn't sleep, so he turned on the TV.
Shenghai News is playing on TV.
"...Some time ago, Shenghai police cracked a case of a tomb robbery gang selling antiques. After several days of investigation, the case has been closed. However, on the way to the Imperial Capital Museum, several precious antiques were stolen on the transport truck. Dear audiences
If there are any relevant clues, the police will provide a bonus of 100,000."
In the news, several stolen antique photos appeared, including a bronze incense burner, a plain porcelain bottle, and a weird eye made of jade fragments.
Seeing this strange eyes, Xiao Xingyun's heart thumped, and a greedy hot current surged in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow the jade fragments into his eyes.
Yes, it is not swallowed into the belly, but into the eyes. It seems that the jade fragments contain substances that make the eyes extremely scarce.
"This is the jade eyes that broke my eyes in the Chenghuang Temple that day? What is its origin?"
Xiao Xingyun was completely out of sleep. He was about to go to the kitchen to make some food, but he saw news about the Jade Friends in the City God Temple.
"You've read the news? The three-eyed evil Buddha's jade eyes were stolen again. I wondered, are the police officers all eating for a good meal? Even such an important antique cannot be protected."
"Three-eyed Evil Buddha? Is the golden Buddha dug out from Qianling Mausoleum? I heard that from the dig out, more than a hundred people have died from those who are related to the Evil Buddha."
"What are you kidding? Isn't Qianling Wu Zetian's tomb? How could there be such a strange evil Buddha in her tomb? Besides, I haven't heard of Qianling being stolen in the circle."
Most of this group of jade friends are people who set up stalls and sell jadeites in Chenghuang Temple, and there are also small vendors who sell fake antiques.
Their sources of information are varied. Although there is no deep-seated news, Xiao Xingyun just needs to know that this jade eye comes from the three-eyed evil Buddha.
As for whether it was dug out from Qianling, it doesn't matter, at least it's not important now.
After breakfast, I went to the basement to check the jadeite rough stones sent back, totaling twelve pieces. I saw that the marks drawn on it were correct, so I didn’t use the perspective eye to check it again.
His eyes were too tired and he didn't want to waste it anymore.
I returned to the bedroom, slept until the afternoon, ate some food, and went to Chenghuang Temple.
He wanted to buy a few more pieces of ancient jade to see if it might upgrade the perspective eye.
"Boss Xiao, why haven't you and Fatty Luo come to set up a stall in the past few days?" asked an acquaintance who set up a stall.
"There are some things at home, so I'll come back to set up a stall after I finish the processing." Xiao Xingyun replied.
After walking around the street stall, all antiques and ancient jade were fake, and the perspective eyes didn't find any energy on it.
There was no choice but to go to the store to see how many real people he might have encountered.
The first Shuyuzhai.
"Sir, welcome." The current antique shops have also begun to hire shopping guides, each with tall figures, fair skin and beautiful appearance.
"Is there any authentic ancient jade in the store?" Xiao Xingyun asked directly.
When the shopping guide heard this, his smile became even brighter.
Customers who come in and say "just look" may really take a look.
As soon as you enter the door, you ask about a certain type of item, which means that the customer is a targeted choice and the chance of transaction is extremely high.
"Yes, please come with me to this counter." As he said that, the shopping guide took Xiao Xingyun to a glass display cabinet full of ancient jade.
At this moment, the business in the store is good, with seven or eight customers in different areas, accompanied by different shopping guides, choosing what they like.
Xiao Xingyun glanced at the things in the ancient jade counter. There were dozens of ancient jades, but only four of them were real, with rich mysterious energy on them.
Other ancient jades, whether they are patina, patina, knife skills, or spot marks, are very similar to real, but they do not have that mysterious energy on them.
Xiao Xingyun can identify new jade and jadeite, but he really has no research on old jade and antiques.
You can only choose by perspective eyes.
There is a price tag for each piece at the counter, and the price tags of the four pieces of real and fake ancient jade are very close.
They are 400,000, 260,000, 150,000 and 390,000 respectively.
There are many factors in the price of ancient jade. Since you dare to clearly mark the price in the store, there must be a reason, at least in line with the market conditions in the circle.
"Take these pieces out for me. If you like them, buy four or five yuan." Xiao Xingyun pointed at a few pieces casually, including four real ones and three fake ones.
The shopping guide didn't think much about it, and took out all seven pieces of ancient jade as required.
Xiao Xingyun pretended to behave and picked out some of them. Finally, he picked out four pieces of real ancient jade and said, "I want these four pieces, I don't need to cover them anymore, I will pay directly."
"Ah? OK, please come here." The shopping guide was secretly happy. The four pieces together had a total of 1.2 million yuan, but they bought them without bargaining. This is the real rich man.
Although the price is marked at the counter, you can bargain when you really want to buy it.
Xiao Xingyun is considered to be half a person in the circle, so it is impossible for him not to know about these things, but he has other purposes and deliberately does not bargain.
After smooth checkout, Xiao Xingyun put four pieces of jade into his pocket and held it in his hand. The mysterious energy on it was quickly sucked away by him.
The energy has long been in the semi-depleted sour eyes, and a heat current emerges, as comfortable as if I had just done eye exercises.
While absorbing mysterious energy, Xiao Xingyun walked around the entire store and finally walked to the front of the antique shelves, pointed to a half-foot-high ceramic bottle, and asked, "Can I hold this bottle in my hand and see it?"
The shopping guide hesitated and replied: "Okay, wait until I get it to the counter and you can watch it."
"Okay." Xiao Xingyun had heard of the rules inside, and antiques were nothing but handy.
She put on white gloves and spread a layer of velvet cloth on the counter before she took out the porcelain bottle and put it on the counter.
"What dynasty is this porcelain bottle from? How much does it cost?" When Xiao Xingyun asked, he had already begun to absorb the mysterious energy from it.
Yes, not only does ancient jade have mysterious energy, but other real antiques also have mysterious energy.
Xiao Xingyun guessed that this might be a special substance precipitated by history, and the energy on each antique is different. The older the antique is, the more energy it contains.
"This is a celadon bottle carved in Yaozhou in the Song Dynasty, and the price is 4.8 million."
"It's too expensive, exceeding my expectations." Xiao Xingyun said, putting the porcelain bottle back to the counter.
He sucked the energy all over, and the appearance was still complete, but there were already slight cracks inside.
"Sir, we can talk about what price is appropriate." The female shopping guide has certain bargaining authority. She thinks that Xiao Xingyun is rich, and if the negotiation is completed, it will be another large bonus.
"I can't afford it if I don't want to talk about it!"
“…”
After Xiao Xingyun finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Except for this porcelain bottle and four pieces of ancient jade, the entire store is actually fake. It is really a black store.
I spent time with a Song Dynasty porcelain bottle from this black shop, and I thought it was to punish evil and promote good.
Diagonally opposite is the "Treasure Pavilion". The branch opened by Tang Lili is said to be in Panjiayuan, the imperial capital, and is more famous in the circle.
Xiao Xingyun thought about it and decided to go in and take a look.
At this moment, he saw an old man sneaking into the treasure pavilion with a black leather bag cross-body.
"Selling the stolen goods?" When Xiao Xingyun set up a stall in Chenghuang Temple, he often met similar people, selling some antiques of unknown origin to these large antique shops.
Xiao Xingyun didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, he just wanted to go to the Treasure Pavilion casually.
When he walked into the store, he saw the old man smiling and showing a big gold teeth. He asked the store guide how to get in the shopkeeper's office and said that he had made an appointment.
Another free shopping guide walked up to Xiao Xingyun and asked, "Sir, good afternoon, what do you need to order?"
"I'll take a look." Xiao Xingyun started walking through the counter at the door. The shopping guide did not leave and followed him.
At this moment, the shopping guide who was receiving the old Golden Teeth was calling the shopkeeper to confirm whether he had made an appointment.
The rules of the big shop are very strict, the head of the school has a high status, and it is very busy in normal times, so not everyone can disturb you.
There were two men in the porcelain area next to them. They came in at some point, as if they were wandering around, just behind the old man Jinyao.
The two men exchanged their eyes and suddenly rushed towards the old man Jinyao. One of them strangled the old man Jinyao's neck and the other snatched the black leather bag on his body.
"Help, help, someone stole my baby!" The old man Jinyao tried his best to protect the black bag on his body.
The two young men tried their best to snatch the straps with a knife, and even cut the old man Jinyao's hand to a bloody and bloody one, but he still did not let go.
"Call the police!"
"Security, where is the security guard?"
The store was in chaos, and Xiao Xingyun didn't know how to fight. He didn't show off his strength and called the police if he took out his cell phone.
Suddenly, after being cut by a knife, the black leather bag was torn apart by them. There was a piece of jade fragments wrapped in newspapers, scattered all over the ground.
Several large pieces of jade fragments fell in front of Xiao Xingyun.
His eyes suddenly became hot, and the extremely hungry and extremely greedy mood surged into his heart again.
